Reach St. Michael's rotunda | Episode 2 Remember Me Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

After you listen to the conversations with Olga Sedova and Edge, start exploring St. Michael's district. Go towards the St Michael's Square and ignore the NPCs and shops that you pass because, you are not going to get any interactive items yet. Only after you reach the abovementioned square, find the side stairs and get to the location where one of the people is giving a speech. Explore the area to the right of the stairs to find a Mnesist Memory (the above screenshot).

Return to the square and continue the exploration, by choosing the path leading up to the rotunda. Follow several corridors here, which will take you to a big yard. There is where you are up for your first encounter with the S.A.B.R.E soldiers, who are the local guardians of law and order.

There are several Enforcers to be taken care of. Right after you start the fight, make sure that you perform regular dodges, so you can avoid being hit with tonfas. Also, make sure that you initiate Power Pressens as often as possible because, these will deal to the enemies more damage than regular blows.

You might have already noticed that, sometimes, the severely wounded enemies display the chip Overload message. This suggest that you can eliminate them in a stunning way. If you want to finish off your weakened opponent without any problems, run up to him and press the interaction key/button to make Nilin perform an execution. Continue fighting until you deal with the enforcers.

[New Journal Entry: Enemy Information- Enforcer]

Explore the entire yard and find an information screen with the whereabouts of the next collectible displayed. Find a ledge that Nilin can grab onto. Jump over to the next ledge and shimmy to the left, to jump towards the neighboring ledge. Do not haste too much with continuing the climbing. Instead, jump down to the small area between the buildings underneath (screenshot 1). Approach the cardboard boxes and collect the SAT Patch.

Jump over the low wall, thanks to which you will return to the yard that you've recently fought the enforcers on. You need to repeat the first part of your climbing and reach the ledges above again. Do not drop into the enclosed are. Instead, lean back and jump towards the drain pipe behind, which you need to climb.

After you reach the head of the pipe, jump towards the small ledge to the left. Lean back again. Press the jump key/button to reach the roof of one of the nearby buildings. Climb up the rooftop and approach the nearby ladder. Turn your attention to the SAT Hatch and jump over the balustrade, thanks to which you will land in a new "arena".

Right after you start another fight with the Enforcers, you will gain access to your first special move, i.e. Sensen Fury. Follow the in-game instructions and bring up the special actions window to activate this mode. In the Fury mode, you do not need to worry about the utilization of the defined combos, and only press the kick and punch buttons. Try and harm as many enemies as possible because, there is a limit to this mode. What is even more, after the mode ends, it needs to regenerate (the cool-down time is 60 seconds, by default but soon, you will learn a method to shorten it).

After Nilin goes out of the fury mode, start using the two available combos, while remembering to perform frequent dodges and finishing the overloaded enforcers off (Overload message).

After another group of hostiles arrives, you will receive a message concerned with the unlocking of a new group of attacks, i.e. (Cooldown Pressens). These moves allow you to speed up the regeneration process, for Sensen Fury attacks, as well as for many others to be unlocked in the course of the game. It is a very useful ability, as Sensen Fury requires, by default, as long as one minute to cool down. At first, you will receive only one such movement so, it is a sound decision to "incorporate" it into one of the already available combos (an example in the above screenshot).

Start attacking various enforcers and try to make a regular use of the combination that includes the Cooldown Pressens. Each time you notice that Sensen Fury has regenerated, initiate it to make things easier. Keep launching attacks until you defeat all of the S.A.B.R.E. soldiers, while remembering to regenerate Nilin's health level (regeneration moves).

After you win the battle, approach the red drain pipe and start climbing. Stop in the spot shown in the above screenshot, i.e. right next to the billboard with changing images. Wait for the "wave" to disappear and start shimmying quickly to the right. It is crucial that you hold down the left mouse button while doing that (or the corresponding button that you use to speed up shimmying). Because, it is the only way to make it to the next ledge. Fortunately, even if you are hit in the process, Nilin doesn't die. You will just have to repeat the last actions.

Shimmy now to the opened shutter and press the interaction key/button to jump inside one of the apartments. There are a SAT Hatch and a balcony door to find here. Explore the rooftops and leap after you approach the edge of the roof.

Shimmy to the left as far as you can and jump towards the ledge to your left. Continue to the left and stop only where you are able to drop to a roof below safely. In here, locate the place where you can climb to a higher part of the roof. Turn left and run-up to jump.

Ahead of you, there is another part where you need to shimmy quickly along ledges (this time around, a slipup means death). Wait for the electrical discharges above Nilin to disappear, jump towards the main ledge and shimmy to the right (the above screenshot). Jump exactly at the same moment at which the discharges to the right disappear. Move quickly to the right now and jump towards the white pipe.

I recommend that you remain here and jump towards the ledge to your right. Shimmy to the right as far as you can and jump towards the small balcony shown in the above screenshot, where there is a Mnesist Memory.

Grab onto the ledge above and shimmy to your left so that you return to the vertical white pipe. You can now slide down the pipe to the very bottom. After you find yourself in an area with new NPCs in it, go towards the entrance to the rotunda.
